About Server Dashboard

The Server Dashboard is a WebApps tool that Administrators can use to monitor the status of their server configuration in a live environment. It monitors and displays a server’s services, connectors, queues, compose engine states and more in a color-coded format. Administrators can customize the Server Dashboard view by modifying default test criteria or creating new test criteria specific to their server configurations. In addition, users typically fulfilling an Administrator or Power User role can view the Server Dashboard based on specific group permissions granted while other groups cannot.
